Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - Gameplay Deep Dive (Dec 9th, Xbox/PC/Gamepass)

The entirety of what we know about this game is extremely managed by Bethesda (incl previews), so I don't blame you for not knowing yet.

This game is going to inspire quite a few youtube essays I think, for better or worse.
I think they are hiding for now how integral to the game the girlboss sidekick is. She appears to be everywhere, she saves Indy several times, she is braver than him, etc...

Looks great. I love how they tried to ape Spielberg's trademark blocking of the shots and their rhythm. And that old school lighting in cut-scenes. Awesome.

Also, not to be a contrarian, but after watching most of this, fp is just perfect for the mood and immersion. There are million other 3rd person games to play if this doesn't suit you.

Does anyone know if wolfenstein 3 is being made or if machinegames announced that they are even slightly working on it?!

Or did it died so this one could fly?

Add PlayStation to the thread title

So is it up & running on PS5 already or did they do some fake overlays

Not for me, i'm just gonna wait for wolfenstein 3 if they are ever gonna make it.

This looks way too focused on puzzles and platforming with meh combat.
I agree. I love MachineGames and Wolfenstein 1/2 still hold up really well. But even in those games any sort of unarmed combat felt really stale and and weightless so it sucks seeing an entire game revolve around it. Everything else looks great though.

After how bad Young Blood turned out I would not be surprised if they're exploring other IP's for the foreseeable future. That shit was so ass and I even played it co-op which made it more fun probably.

First person just isn't doing it for me for an Indiana jones game.
My problem really isn't it being specifically first person, but the lack of commitment.

If you're doing 1st person then keep it 1st person all the way. The shifts during platforming are jarring and take you out of the game.

I don't think it's that tbh. They're not acting like they have something objectionable to begin with.

I think they're hiding how low-key the game will end up being.

Yeah those transitions to 3rd person are really weird, it would be best to just give an option to disable this.
But since it's there in a way I dunno maybe some modders can do their magic, give it like a RE Village kind of 3rd person mode..

Anyway I do see myself enjoying this pretty much, exploration should be fun in those good looking places.

So um... Not a lot of love around it?

The franchise is not in great shape (no pun intended), but everyone basically don't know that the game is less than a month to be out

I like it, looks like a cool adventure to me, both combat and puzzles will keep it fresh, and Egypt as a setting is always awesome.

I recently replayed Wolfenstein 2 and had a lot of fun so i have faith in MG to deliver a fun game.

I thrust them too, even thou Wolfenstein 2 was weaker in comparison. I just don't see a lot of fuzz around this game. It's a shame
